From “The Occupiers,” a photo series by Eddie McShane.  He writes: “I wanted to see who these people were so I decided to set up a portable studio and make formal portraits. What I learned is that these people are not whackos, anarchists, or indigents. They are overwhelmingly working and middle class people of all backgrounds who feel that their government has failed them and does not represent their interests… They just want the basic promise of America; that everyone has a fair chance to live with opportunity and dignity.”  You can view the complete set of photos from this series here.
